LGBTQ representation on the radio

Due in large part that major media outlets did not report news for the LGBTQ community in Oregon, notices of the community were being reported first with the publication The Fountain. The earliest article for LGBTQ on the radio was reported on page 15, The Fountain, June 1971. [BELOW LEFT] Another was when KBOO an independent radio station announced that they would be airing “Homphile Half-Hour” as stated in the October 1971  issue of The Fountain, page 26. See BELOW RIGHT middle bottom of the column, and then mentioned in the November 1971 edition of The Fountain.

A year later, reported on Page 8 – The September 1972 issue of The Fountain – NIGHT ON NIGHTLINE – radio talk show on KPOK-AM - this is just a portion of the article.[See BELOW LEFT] And, in May 1973 The Fountain page 8 had an article about “RADIO AIRS GAY SPOTS”.
